Microorganisms that are capable of (S)-enantioselective transamination of chiral amines were isolated from soil samples by selective enrichment using (S)-α-methylbenzylamine ((S)-α-MBA) as a sole nitrogen source. Among them, Klebsiella pneumoniae JS2F, Bacillus thuringiensis JS64, and Vibrio fluvialis JS17 showed good ω-transaminase (ω-TA) activities and the properties of the ω-TAs were investigated. The induction level of the enzyme was strongly dependent on the nitrogen source for the strains, except for V. fluvialis JS17. All the ω-TAs showed high enantioselectivity (E>50) toward (S)-α-MBA and broad amino donor specificities for arylic and aliphatic chiral amines. Besides pyruvate, aldehydes such as propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde showed good amino acceptor reactivities. All the ω-TAs showed substrate inhibition by (S)-α-MBA above 200 mM. Moreover, substrate inhibition by pyruvate above 10 mM was observed for ω-TA from V. fluvialis JS17. In the case of product inhibition, acetophenone showed much greater inhibitions than L-alanine for all ω-TAs. Comparison of the enzyme properties indicates that ω-transaminase from V. fluvialis JS17 is the best one for both kinetic resolution and asymmetric synthesis to produce enantiomerically pure chiral amines. Kinetic resolution of sec-butylamine (20 mM) was done under reduced pressure (150 Torr) to selectively remove an inhibitory product (2-butanone) using the enzyme from V. fluvialis JS17. Enantiomeric excess of (R)-sec-butylamine reached 94.7% after 12 h of reaction.
ω-Transaminase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of chiral amines using l-threonine as an amino acceptor precursor

Kinetic resolution of chiral amines using l-threonine as a cosubstrate was demonstrated by a biocatalytic strategy in which (S)-selective ω-transaminase (ω-TA) was coupled with threonine deaminase (TD), eliminating the need to use an expensive keto acid as an amino acceptor. The coupled enzyme reaction enabled simultaneous production of enantiopure (R)-amine and l-homoalanine which are pharmaceutically important building blocks. To extend the versatility of this strategy to production of both enantiomers of chiral amines, (R)-selective ω-TA coupled with TD was employed to produce (S)-amine.
3,3′-diaryl-BINOL phosphoric acids as enantioselective extractants of benzylic primary amines
Verkuijl, Bastiaan J.V.,De Vries, Johannes G.,Feringa, Ben L.
, p. 34 - 43 (2011)
We report that 3,3′-diaryl-BINOL phosphoric acids are effective enantioselective extractants in chiral separation methods based on reactive liquid-liquid extraction. These new extractants are capable of separating racemic benzylic primary amine substrates. The effect of the nature of the substituents at the 3,3′-positions of the host were examined as well as the structure of the substrate, together with important parameters such as the organic solvent, the pH of the aqueous phase, and the host stoichiometry. Titration of the substrate with the host was monitored by FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, and CD spectroscopy, which provided insight into the structure of the host-guest complex involved in extraction.

ω-Transaminase (TA) catalyzed asymmetric syntheses of amines were carried out in the one enzyme systems with wild-type enzymes (S)-TA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, (S)-TA from Paracoccus denitrificans and (R)-TA from Aspergillus terreus. The scope of amine donors and aromatic carbonyl substrates was thoroughly explored. Among the range of potential amino donors, 2-propylamine, 2-butylamine and 1-phenylethylamine were found as promising candidates, which gave superior conversions in the amination reactions compared to other donors. Various prochiral aromatic ketones were accepted as substrates by the investigated enzymes. In most cases, good to excellent conversions (up to 98%) to the amine products with excellent e.e.-values (>99.9% for (S) or (R)) were obtained by the action of a single enzyme and an appropriate amino donor. (S)-TA from Paracoccus denitrificans was found to accept bulky ketones, e.g. 1-indanone, α- and β-tetralone or 2-acetonaphthone, in the asymmetric amination. In some cases the enantiomeric excesses in the amination reactions were dependent on the amino donor. More-over, the influence of the pH, temperature and cosolvents on the outcome of reactions was additionally investigated.

A straightforward chemoenzymatic synthesis of rasagiline mesylate has been developed. The key steps for the introduction of chirality involved kinetic enzymatic resolution with lipases via acetylation of racindanol and an inversion configuration Mitsunobu reaction of the produced (S)-indanol. Immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus proved to be a robust biocatalyst in the kinetic resolution, leading to (S)-indanol with high selectivity (e.e. > 99%, E > 200) in just 15 min, at 35°C, in hexane, being reused for ten-times without significant loss of the activity and selectivity.

, p. 1732 - 1740 (2015)
Asymmetric reductive amination of ketones using ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) offers a promising alternative to the chemocatalytic synthesis of chiral amines. One fundamental challenge to the biocatalytic strategy is the very low enzyme activities for most ketones compared with native substrates (i.e., cat/KM for acetophenone). The W58L mutant afforded an efficient synthesis of enantiopure amines (i.e., >99% ee) using isopropylamine as an amino donor.

A NADH-dependent engineered amine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (LE-AmDH-v1) was applied together with a NADH-oxidase from Streptococcus mutans (NOx) for the kinetic resolution of pharmaceutically relevant racemic α-chiral primary amines. The reaction conditions (e. g., pH, temperature, type of buffer) were optimised to yield S-configured amines with up to >99 % ee.

, p. 39 - 45 (2012)
The biocatalytic performance of a cloned cyclohexylamine oxidase derived from Brevibacterium oxydans IH-35A towards structurally different amines was investigated. Cycloalkyl primary amines, alkyl aryl amines, and α-carbon-substituted aliphatic amines were identified as suitable substrates for the biocatalyst based on an activity assay. Kinetic resolutions of several amines by either recombinant whole cells or crude enzyme extracts prepared therefrom gave enantiomerically pure (R)-amines besides the corresponding ketones. When cyclohexylamine oxidase in combination with a borane-ammonia complex as reducing agent was applied to the deracemization of several substrates, excellent enantiomeric ratios (>99:1) and good isolated yields (62%-75%) of the corresponding (R)-amines were obtained.

A new directed evolution approach is presented to enhance the activity of an enzyme and to manipulate stereoselectivity by focusing iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) simultaneously on residues lining the entrance tunnel and the binding pocket. This combined mutagenesis strategy was applied successfully to the monoamine oxidase from Aspergillus Niger (MAO-N) in the reaction of sterically demanding substrates which are of interest in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals based on the benzo-piperidine scaffold. Reversal of enantioselectivity of Turner-type deracemization was achieved in the synthesis of (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-methyl-isoquinoline, (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-ethylisoquinoline and (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-isopropylisoquinoline. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the altered catalytic profile is due to increased hydrophobicity of the entrance tunnel acting in concert with the altered shape of the binding pocket.
